Product details
old with the new by paying homage to the ancient poem and reflecting its significance with my own musical ideas.
"Caedmon's Hymn" is a universal song which praises God's creation of Heaven and Earth, which he calls "Middangeard" (Middle-Earth), a name for inhabited lands in ancient mythology of the time. Extending upon this, Hymn of Ancient Lands expresses adoration of land and nature through a ritualistic musical journey which progresses from sparse and plaintive to energetic and joyful. From a modern point of view, Hymn of Ancient Lands expresses Australia's passion for traveling overseas and exploring many different lands, combined with a deep sense of belonging and respect for our own unique and magnificent landscape.
